1Dhanaasaree, Fifth Mehla:

2One who contemplates his Lord and Master - why should he be afraid?

3The wretched self-willed manmukhs are ruined through fear and dread. ||1||Pause||

4The Divine Guru, my mother and father, is over my head.

5His image brings prosperity; serving Him, we become pure.

6The One Lord, the Immaculate Lord, is our capital.

7Joining the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, we are illumined and enlightened. ||1||

8The Giver of all beings is totally pervading everywhere.

9Millions of pains are removed by the Lord's Name.

10All the pains of birth and death are taken away

11from the Gurmukh, within whose mind and body the Lord dwells. ||2||

12He alone, whom the Lord has attached to the hem of His robe,

13obtains a place in the Court of the Lord.

14They alone are devotees, who are pleasing to the True Lord.

15They are freed from the Messenger of Death. ||3||

16True is the Lord, and True is His Court.

17Who can contemplate and describe His value?

18He is within each and every heart, the Support of all.

19Nanak begs for the dust of the Saints. ||4||3||24||

20Dhanaasaree, Fifth Mehla:

21One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:

22At home, and outside, I place my trust in You; You are always with Your humble servant.

23Bestow Your Mercy, O my Beloved God, that I may chant the Lord's Name with love. ||1||

24God is the strength of His humble servants.

25Whatever You do, or cause to be done, O Lord and Master, that outcome is acceptable to me. ||Pause||

26The Transcendent Lord is my honor; the Lord is my emancipation; the glorious sermon of the Lord is my wealth.

27Slave Nanak seeks the Sanctuary of the Lord's feet; from the Saints, he has learned this way of life. ||2||1||25||

28Dhanaasaree, Fifth Mehla:

29God has fulfilled all my desires. Holding me close in His embrace, the Guru has saved me.

30He has saved me from burning in the ocean of fire, and now, no one calls it impassible. ||1||

31Those who have true faith in their minds,

32continually behold the Glory of the Lord; they are forever happy and blissful. ||Pause||

33I seek the Sanctuary of the feet of the Perfect Transcendent Lord, the Searcher of hearts; I behold Him ever-present.

34In His wisdom, the Lord has made Nanak His own; He has preserved the roots of His devotees. ||2||2||26||

35Dhanaasaree, Fifth Mehla:

36Wherever I look, there I see Him present; He is never far away.

37He is all-pervading, everywhere; O my mind, meditate on Him forever. ||1||

38He alone is called your companion, who will not be separated from you, here or hereafter.

39That pleasure, which passes away in an instant, is trivial. ||Pause||

40He cherishes us, and gives us sustenance; He does not lack anything.

41With each and every breath, my God takes care of His creatures. ||2||

42God is undeceiveable, impenetrable and infinite; His form is lofty and exalted.

43Chanting and meditating on the embodiment of wonder and beauty, His humble servants are in bliss. ||3||

44Bless me with such understanding, O Merciful Lord God, that I might remember You.
